Just talking with a co-worker, mentioned that I have to get home early today and change clothes, grab my Smith 649 out of the safe for taking the kids Trick or Treating. She laughed and said this was the one night she believed in open carry. She annually dresses in a costume with which open carry looks appropriate, and openly carries as she walkes the kids around trick-or-treating. Says that given the problems of the world, this was one of the nights she wants the speed of open carry for drawing. And, since no one will think twice of her having the gun on, she can do so without concerns.

So, anyone else change their carry routine for Halloween? Maybe load silver bullets? ;)
 
Too funny. :D

I'm kinda torn on this one. Seems to me that in a street full of little kids, it's quite possible that some little munchkin is going to grab for your "fake" cowboy gun -- which of course is not going to be in a Level III retention holster.

But dang if it doesn't sound fun...

Was there ever a better excuse for getting a matched pair of cowboy revolvers? "It's for the children!"
 
lol I'm going as a sheriff to take out group of kiddos trick or treating. I have my fake cowboys guns, I guess a 1911 or Beretta would look out of costume???
 
My costume...

consisted of a cowboy hat, cowboy boots, denim shirt and pants, a bandana to wear over my face, my Ruger Bisley Vaquero w/ 51/2" barrel in a Texas Gunslinger rig, with 18 .357magnum Black Talon rounds in the loops ( gun was unloaded, of course ), and a Soligen German Steel Bowie Knife w/ 10" blade and real stag handle. Went to a party and two clubs in this costume, and no one batted an eye !! :evil:
 
I dont have any kids, so I'm taking the top pane out of my storm door, locking the latch, and belting on my 1911 (hidden under a loose shirt) to hand out good candy to all the little kids. Hopefully nobody tries to open the storm door. :eek:

The high-schoolers get 1 roll of Smartees each and a "You're a little big to be in 6th grade". :neener:

I had intended to go out on Saturday night as an ATF alcohol inspection team member (wearing a suit and id badge hanging off my lapel), but I caught a stomach thing and stayed home instead.

Spoon wore her SASS get-up, we just took the cylinder out of her pistol. I've thought more than once of various costumes that would work for this: it's one of the reasons I REALLY want to find a detachable mag Broomhandle: The Gun Rack in FL will do the "Star Wars conversion" on shooter grade Broomys... :D

I suppose the Automag, worn slung kinda low, could also work for some costumes...
 
I'm going out with the kids tonight in a duster, jeans, cowboy boots, hat, a vest, and a nice new belt and holster, cowboy-action-shooting style. Sadly, I don't have a centerfire SA pistol, so the ruger single-six is gonna have to do. :)

Now that is Funny, Hope they are safe...

I think I will go as,"Neo", from the,"Matrix Part 1". Specifically the scene with the trench coat in the lobby. I got black leather jacket and some shades:)...But more importantly, I have a CHL, an AR-pistol(pdw), a Glock 23(extra 15 round mags), and a PT-145 Millinium, that would all store nicely on my person...Hell I might go all out and throw the AK in the trunk:evil:...Now if I can just stop the,"klik, Klak", when I walk ;)...
 
I don't have kids, and I don't go anymore, but the last time I DID go, I dressed as a ganger.

They looked at me odd, and asked what I was.

My response, 'The Future'.
 
I am not in the best neighborhood.
I have triple checked the motion lights, will move my truck to safer part of property, I have 2 handguns, 2 shotguns, 2 portable phones (with direct line to LEO on speed dial) and more ammo than candy. :p

I will be the guy hoping the doorbell don't ring - but if it does, I gots tricks, treats in all sorts of flavors depending on the goblins. :D

Oh...I decided to keep the little Heath Bars for me.
 
Somebody loan pax a SAA...

pax,

I really think you and yours should go as The Sacketts:D

I mean Katherine Ross [you] and between hubby and the 5 other young men, I mean there has to be a Elliot and Selleck character in the bunch. The rest could be posse' or something.

That or do a family portrayl of Sons of Katie Elder

Yeah I know, I'm in trouble again aren't I ?

No fair!

I was so thinking the very same thing the moment I read the first post. :)
 
Halloween is my all time favorite holiday. This year as an excellent way to mess with my coworkers i went as a member of the feminine persuasion.

What did i carry?

Why, my purse gun of course, a Beretta M21A .22LR.

This gun was one of my first carry guns and was always refered to as "a girls gun" by the rest of my heat packing friends.

The costume got lots of laughs.
 
Somebody should go in a ape outfit with AR or AK or something evil looking.

That would be a sight to see.

I thought I was the only one. My GF and her grandkids were going to out last week. I was thinking of putting on my old BDUs and carrying my 92F in a drop leg holster. I wasn't worried about somebody taking it from me, it's a Safariland positive retention rig. Unless somebody knew how to unholster the weapon, it woudl be hard. She came down with a cold so it nixed the plans. Oh well there's always next year :D
 
Be cool if we all lived on the same street. Kind of be freaky for the "visiting gobblins". :D A few years ago I dressed all camo, moosed my hair straight back, did the skull face makeup, and carried a 12" blade Arkansas tooth pick. The whole thing looked kind of nasty.

*edit* not sure if i wanna switch out to my camo vest, BDU's and gas mask and vietnam helmet. And my boots...

And my web belt...

Sounds like fun. I think i will :)
 
May be a little OT, but my neighbor was just complaining that he caught some kids trying to TP his house. He doesn't do Halloween for religious reasons, and he thinks that's why.

Who the heck actually pulls these tricks any more? Am I just naive thinking that it's weird for someone to mess up your house for not handing out candy?
 
A few years ago a guy came to the door wearing a Punisher t-shirt,a MAK90 with drum mag slung across his chest and what looked like 2 Berettas or Tauruses in drop legs.IIRC his kid had on regular school clothes and some kind of plastic mask.
